Phytobunker


Beside the central chloroplast hall - a space of light and meditation - stands its antithesis, a Pandora's box, into which the negative forces of the past have been compressed and locked away.

Each selected bunker has a safe which contains historical documents concerning apects of the Second World War pertinent to the respective region. A list of contemporary weapons and conflicts will lie on the upper level. As a reminder of the historic origin of the Phytobunker, and to costantly reevaluate of the facts, the safe is displayed once a year. So as not activate a climate of the hate and the fear, and to prevent a spiral of violence, the exhibitons are only open for a limited duration.


The exhibitions and the bunkers embody the locations of encounter and exchange. The vocabulary of the forms is organic, and is inspired by the grana. The walls of the shelter are covered with green breaking waves, which contain in their centres the spectrum of peace. The flat roof makes possible the arrangement of garden terraces.
